In January of this year, was signed into law the copyright of ASTA. Throughout Europe are protests, but it's not who cares. Briefly about the main point:1 - for downloading the song or movie in the country signed could face a fine or imprisonment Türmen for up to 5 years.2 - on the border will inspect all devices (CellPhones, mp3 players, laptops) for not licensing content. Find at least one song that would be fine.
I hope that Russia would not sign the document.

The development agreement was conducted for several years in a strict secret, even the representatives of the European Parliament failed to get the draft agreement before the adoption of the final version. Requests for public organizations to publish drafts of agreements have been rejected with reference to considerations of privacy and national security of the U.S., although some leakage of information were posted on Wikileaks.
At the same time, the development was closely involved organizations for the protection of copyright, such as the RIAA, IIPA, BSA, MPAA and MPA. In addition, the preliminary text of the agreement was also available a number of private companies such as Sony Pictures, Time Warner and Verizon on an agreement on confidentiality.
I hope that Russia would not sign the document.
